Ballet under the Stars returns!

Connecticut’s renowned professional company performs a new program.

Connecticut Ballet was founded in 1981 by choreographers Brett Raphael and Luk de Layress. Its official debut took place (under the company’s former title, Ballet Today) at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. The company became a resident performing company at Stamford Center for the Arts in 1986. In 2005, the company expanded performances to Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts and now calls Hartford its home base. In 2008, the company initiated a popular annual BALLET UNDER THE STARS series, featuring free performances across the state.
